Course Summary

This MRes provides advanced study in Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control, within Europe and globally. The course is largely research and project-based but there is also a taught element to it.

This course is ideal if you are looking to further your knowledge and develop your research skills, contribute to new knowledge on environmental pollution and related topics.

An MRes offers a unique and bespoke experience you can tailor your studies to suit your own research interests and career objectives. You will be taught by an interdisciplinary group of professionally qualified civil engineers, environmental scientists, geoscientists, and chemists. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has strong industrial links which contributes to the overall student experience, too.

An MRes takes one year full-time or two years part-time to complete. While full-time study is available to UK and international students, part-time study on-campus is only available to students from the UK or EU.
